spaces formerly left open will thus be obfstructed, and the teeth 25 of the guard member will coperate with the teeth of the cyl inder to effect threshing of the heads of grain passing therebetween.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is:'- I

1. 1n a threshing machine, an arcuate guard plate secured on the side wall of the easing concentric with and in close relation tothe lower portion of the cylinder to occupy the space between the end teeth of the cylinder and the side wall of the casing,

said guard member having radially extending teeth.`

2. In a threshing machine, an arcuate guard plate secured4 on the side wall of the casing concentric with and in eloserelation` to the lower portion of the cylinder to occupy the space between the end teeth of the cylinder and the side wall of the casin said guard member having radially exten ing teeth, said teeth being positioned adjacent to the inner face of the guard member to leave spaces between said teeth and the proximate face of the side wall of the casing.

3. In a threshing machine, a threshing cylinder, a concave including tooth carrying bars supported at each end by a plate pivoted on a side wall of the casing to the rearward of the cylinder, and a guard member consisting of an arcuate bar secured on the side wall of the casing closely adjacent to the lower portion of the cylinder and concentric therewith, said guard member having radially extending vteeth that are spaced from the proximate side wall of the casing.'

In testimony whereof I aiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
